Dumb Garbage or Not?

 Good simple strong belt that stays put.  I got the XL because i like having the extra slack. This is a pretty good  basic belt and is quite rigid if you carry stuff. I dont. I use it to hold up my pants. Extremely affordable and works well. THe cloth d-ring belt it replaced had about 8 years on it and was shredded from use. I hope to get more than that out of this one. It is better built than the one it replaced. I think these run about $15. Link:  https://www.511tactical.com/tdu-belt-15-plastic-buckle.html Verdict: Good

This thing is fantastic. I believe it comes in 3 different sizes. I am a bit of a thermos  connoisseur    meaning i have a lot of them. Everything from vintage ones to food jars to mugs like this. In my opinion this is WAY better than Kleen Kanteen or Hydroflask (Yes i have both). Those appear to be more of a fad. IF you want something that works well, get this Stanley. i have the 16oz version. It keep stuff hot for a very long time; Same with cold.  I think they run ~$20 and you can get them at Amazon or locally at Walmart. I wont go into that because nobody cares. Pour your liquid into it and then drink it. If you are pouring your liquid into it to let it sit for a week and then complain when it isnt still the same temperature, you are kind of an idiot. The pictured lid style is now harder to find but i believe it looks and works better than the latest model. Yes i have both. The current model is also very very good and would be my second choice and it is ...

 There is nothing better for my money than these pedals. Highly recommended. Cheap, serviceable and last a LONG time.   Link:  Verdict: The best!

 I finally got around to picking up a cordless impact. This is not the brushless version but im not sure why you would need that over this.  I have used this regularly with the big batteries and it does everything and then some.  Removed 174 ft lb 35mm axle nut on a truck. Removes lug nuts no problem.  Pulled all my shocks out front and rear to put in new ones....no problem Remove steering rack bolt at 120 - 140ft lbs no problem ...and im in the rust belt. Massive corrosion on everything. Its a monster for the price. It runs $140 but you can get it much cheaper if you watch for sales or bundles. I think i gave $99.  Verdict: Recommended, Link:  https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Volt-ONE-Cordless-3-Speed-1-2-in-Impact-Wrench-Tool-Only-P261/205885687

 This stuff is great at preventing corrosion (rust). Good stuff. Spray down your tools and wipe them. Spray down your cars underside in harsh climates. This stuff works

 These are better than the dickies you can get today. That company has become horrible for pants/shorts.  Red Kap are cheap and they wear like iron. They dont stain or fade and they are cheap. ~$20 a pair. I think i have 6 pairs now. Highly recommended. Fit true to size.  The shop pant is even better.  Link: https://www.redkap.com/mens-plain-front-shorts/PT26.html Verdict: Recommended
